We all have a tipping point and when it’s breeched it cause more stress as well as burdens. Hopefully you’ll be able to work on your credit and other resources needed to move to the Last Frontier. I wish you the best now and in the future. FYI go to Goodwill to find winter clothes before moving.

A few years ago here in Texas I received a “sheriff” scam call and an “FBI” scam call. I immediately knew for three reasons they were scams.

The sheriff scam did not use the first 6 digits of all the county department phone numbers.
The FBI scam call out of Los Angeles which made no sense as my city has an FBI office.
I know my registering sheriff employee well enough that she would never call me and threaten me with an arrest, she would just show up unannounced and arrest me.

When I mentioned the scams to this sheriff employee, she stated I would never call you concerning a warrant, I would just come unannounced and arrest you.

I do not answer calls I do not recognize. I never returned the voicemails of the two scams and blocked those numbers.

During the last year, Texas has had issues with the SO scams.

I know i dont mean it that way. I meant it is i am tired of Florida and its strict registration requirements and finding a place to live being nearly impossible for someone like me. I am planning on heading to Alaska. I know i will be on the registry there too but their restrictions are literally nothing compared to Florida and with Alaska being so big and wide open and communities so spread apart and housing being so cheap it just makes more sense. You can rent a dry cabin on a nice size acreage for roughly $500 or so. But i am taking these next 2 years to work on my credit and save so i can buy a home there and live without neighbors nearby, No schools nearby, nothing. Just be left alone and enjoy life. Hopefully off the grid, I cant keep living with my parents for the rest of my life

As of right now that is Florida’s law and one that makes no sense. How are non residents or dead people a threat to Florida communities? Talk about cooking the books to get more money. My question is how many lawmakers have investments in registry schemes and isn’t that considered human trafficking. I’m A human being, not a commodity!!

Yep, I am One of Those—One of those that Moved Out of Draconian FLori-Duh….Along with Those that Have Died, Absconded, Incarcerated, etc!

Once on Flori-Duh’s Hit List…Always on the Hit List….I believe after 25 Years plus/minus You Can Petition and Some May Have Been Successful Thus Far-But, Probably Just a Few!

Inflated Number Keep the Monies Coming In.

A few years back, someone spoofed my # and I was getting over 800 calls a day. At first I was texting the people and saying it is not me doing it. It was so bad I could not make a call because so many people were calling me to cuss me out.
I called Verizon and they said the only way to stop it was to change my phone #. They said the police cannot do anything about it, which I already knew because it is most likely coming from India.

FAC

And even if he leaves Florida, there is a high chance he will still be on the registry here anyway. (According to several people on here who moved out of Florida and are still on Florida Registry)

Don’t move out of Florida because you got a scam phone call. Scams can happen anywhere with today’s technology and it’s best to know what you can do to protect you and your family. Florida needs registrants and their families involved in this fight. I’m no longer a Florida resident, yet I’m forever a Florida registrant and I understand the toughness of Florida’s laws. FAC as an organization needs you and all of us in this fight. Show up by speaking out against unjust bills, write and call your representatives, and get others involved. Don’t let Florida break you, let it mold you into an involved advocate, and never give into the state or give up on life cause that is how they win.

The majority of scammers are spoofing phone numbers, so its almost impossible to trace the call. I get scam calls quite frequently and always hang up when I confirm its a scam. When I try to call the number back to mess with them, a completely different person answers who knows nothing about the scammer. For example, several numbers I have called back turned out to belong to legitimate businesses like auto parts stores, car dealerships, etc. Spoofing a phone number is actually quite easy to do, so unless you can get a person to meet you face to face, the police are very unlikely to find out who they are.
